Listings should be going up soon, according to PNSO's Facebook.

cool

It looks great But why does it need 64 pages manual?
I love the poster too!

The picture on the poster doesn't match the model or the box At first glance I wondered if that was a prototype image and they decided to simplify the blue markings when it came to actually painting them on the production line, but then I noticed the horn is pointing a different direction, too!

Those pics are probably from the booklet; maybe they go into the history of discovery of the species, including alternate theories on horn placement and direction.

Well, I think the manual Anna is mentioning is just because each hornlet on Jennie's frill may have a different function like play, pause, forward, stop, etc, I really dislike things with lots of buttons.
... about other silly things, I only hope it explains why there is a dinosaur called Centrosaurus from Kentron (κέντρον) pointy and saurus, lizard and another completely different dinosaur called Kentrosaurus from Kentro (κέντρον) pointy and saurus, lizard. Basically, they have the same name but in this genus, Greek κ was transliterated to C instead of K. It doesn't make any sense to me. I think Kentroceratops could be a much nicer name.
Though, it is not PNSO's fault, they just released another wonderful figure and surely the Ceratopsian enthusiasts on forum are really happy these days.

Ooh, so it should be pronounced like Kent with a hard C sound, not Cent like the coins? I've been thinking it wrong every time I read the name!

If the Centrosaurus' manual is anything like the booklet that came with their Tylosaurus, it should contain pictures of the figure, artwork (that, yes, doesn't really match the figure), and some scientific info/stories by Yang Yang.

I took three years of Classical Latin in school, and what I was taught is that 'C' is always pronounced as a 'K'

Thanks for sharing a part of the booklet, actually what i could read is more about the commitment of the company.

It should but it is not to avoid confusion with the Kentrosaurus, the stegosaurid. It is pronounced like central and actually I thought it was related with this particular word.
We can hear it with a very British accent in this video.
Funny how they feature the poor centrosaurus as wildebeests in a clear analogy with the dramatism of the Great Migration

You’ve seen Jennie the Centrosaurus, and now you can meet the other new PNSO 2022 figures.

Li Xiong the Zhuchentyrannus (Chinese relative of T. rex)
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Zhuchentyrannus looks really like a regular t-rex but the figure is quite beautiful!

New, a Tsintaosaurus (pronounced with a silent T)

A Chinese hadrosaur. Definitely a purchase from me, but I don’t know what is the purpose of that plastic black base.  

It's beautiful! I love this color scheme I think it's just a display base, a pretty fancy one too!

They released one in 2019, this one looks nicer and goes directly to the Museum line what means it will be expensive.

I believe this is the older one

It goes with how this animal used to be drawn, with a cone shaped crest,

But now we think it was shaped more like a comb, which is what this new figure looks like.

Yes, I was refering to that one. The older model also looks less massive with less delicate limbs.

The new one needs to go on a diet I think.

Very nice Big guy, I prefer this one than the former version, even if I'm sure I would prefer the former version price 

It is really difficult for me to resist to PNSO calls, luckily my banker is stingy like no other 

I need more prehistoric water animals, for my horror/scifi story. ^^

And then there was another…

Aubrey (the adult) & Dabei the Torosaurus

From DTF. Price unconfirmed but likely above $50

Another beautiful model from PNSO, but too pricey for my taste
